This paper is focused on the issue of adolescent fatherhood. The interest in that issue increased very recently among scientist and social workers. This statement is unfeigned in regard to adolescent mothers, but not altogether true in regard to adolescent fathers. The Polish literature about teen fathers is still limited (there were few researches on this issue). Therefore, additional interest among social science researchers is required against a backdrop of information. The main purpose of this paper is to ask the questions: does early fatherhood pose problems for the individual person, is it also problem (trouble) for the family of adolescent father and is it a problem from the point of view of society as a whole? The collateral issues of this paper are: factors associated with unintended fatherhood, roles of young fathers (involvement as father) and ways of coping with cover phenomenon.

W tekście dokonano omówienia i podjęto dyskusję ze studium Łukasza Goryszewskiego STYLE KONSUMPCJI POLSKIEJ KLASY WYŻSZEJ (2014). W sytuacji wielości dostępnych lektur dotyczących zjawiska konsumpcji warto zwrócić uwagę na tę pozycję, gdyż dotyczy zagadnienia stylów konsumpcji specyficznej grupy – polskiej klasy wyższej. Tematyka bogactwa jest silnie obecna na łamach prasy codziennej, ale stosunkowo rzadko trafia na warsztat badawczy, zwłaszcza empiryczny – badania dotyczące bogactwa są zdecydowanie zaniedbane w porównaniu z badaniami biedy. Dzięki pracy Łukasza Goryszewskiego uzyskujemy wgląd w style konsumpcji (wybranych dóbr i usług: samochodów, ubrań, mieszkań oraz sposobów spędzania czasu wolnego) przedstawicieli polskiej klasy wyższej. Dopełnienie uzyskanego obrazu stanowi analiza wizerunku polskich elit, nakreślonego w wybranych serialach oraz czasopismach.

The author of the text has discussed the study of Łukasz Goryszewski titled Styles of consumption of Polish upper class (2014). In the case of multiplicity of readings on the phenomenon of consumption available on the market, one should pay attention to this position, because it concerns the issue of consumption of a specific group – Polish upper class. The subject of wealth is widely present in the daily press, but it is relatively rarely examined by scientific research. Empirical studies on wealth are much more neglected in comparison to the studies on poverty. The book by Łukasz Goryszewski provides the reader with the insight into the styles of consumption (of selected goods and services: cars, clothes, housing and ways of spending leisure time) of the representatives of the Polish upper class. The analysis of the image of the Polish elite outlined in the selected series and magazines complements the obtained picture.

The purpose of the paper is to analyze the issue of the relations between being consumers and being citizens in the consumer society. Many researchers point to deepening crisis of mature democracy and a decrease in social and civil participation, which entails most developed and developing countries, including Poland. The phenomenon present in a context of consumer society and its culture are often indicated among causes of this state. Based on the analysis of social changes in modern world, Zygmunt Bauman arrives at a conclusion that as an individualized entity, the consumer is an enemy of the citizen. The citizen and the consumer have different interests, hierarchies of values and ways of perceiving the world. The Zygmunt Bauman’s thesis is being analyzed in the paper on the basic of author’s research results. In the first part of the study, the typical characteristics of “model” members of a consumer society in the liquid modernity era are discussed (with reference to Bauman’s and other authors’ views). The way a consumer society affects the mentality of its members (the consumers) and their relations with groups, or larger communities (especially civil participation) is addressed. The second part is devoted to the issue of relations between being consumers and being citizens and is based on the research results of author’s research results. The relationships between consumer orientations of AMU students and chosen elements of their civic and social participation are discussed. Finally, the study is concluded with an attempt at explaining the results of research with reference to Bauman’s concept.
